Reliability as always today on the 74. The 14.50 stafford to Cannock , volvo 191 broke down just after stafford town centre. The next one, one of the scanias, at 3.20pm didnt even make it that far and according to the driver of the streetlite theyve dragged out the depot to run what shouldve been the 332 from cannock which left at 4pm, broke down at the sun inn leaving stafford. Good job they sent the streetlite cos the 4.02 obv wont run either

Is this the revised livery now for both fleets  ?

The one at Cannock has got D and G branding rather than Chaserider

It would appear Chaserider has acquired a 17 plate Enviro 200 MMC ex Cardiff Bus currently tracking on the 71

Prob a decent spec if ex cardiff

Well I guess in a way they have

Has this happened on the 19 before? Reduced to daytime hours and lower frequency on a Sat

Are they a bus down on there today too? Looks like mmc made only one journey on  the 19

Looks like 704s back in service again

Because they get fined from the tendering authority if they don't run a journey!

Would they have been fined today then, as one of the 16 plate volvos got took off, leaving gaps then a 63 plate evolution ( presumably not euro 6?) Got shoved on there after ....

Clearly needs a reality check too.

Funny how Chaserider are more bothered over their newer vehicles and tendered routes than their own routes that are apparently awful running and have the worst vehicles on!

Prob cos tendering is more lucrative maybe

Looks like that meeting happened as now 19 will stop operating after its 3pm journeys until further notice

Cant blame 'em, i'd pull off altogether if i was them

I think you mean the other operators that bid didn't put a low enough bid in...

Easy mistake.

Tbf tendering was a bit sh#t in the days before multi operator ticket and often went to lowest common denominator operators. I remember Petes travel ( i think) running the evening 351 to Cannock....great if you had an nx or TWM as was travelcard ..not...

Did they specify a danger money element on the bid for the 19? I cant think what possessed them to even want to run it tbf

Disgusting that us tax payers have to pay for their life styles

Deffo

Yeah I did see that, I've always said Walsall needs a nuclear bomb dropped on it!

🤣🤣🤣🤣

Im imagining the little ba#tards mums probably had them at 11, never worked in their lives , and the dads are probably living with em but claiming seperately, probably on fake mental health saying they cant go out the house except for drug dealing 🤣🤣🤣 

Barely. Got quite a lot of issues with it

Ahhh..prob not long for this world then 

I completely agree 100% 

Theyve introduced the diversion after 430pm. Jesus what sort of s##tholes are the areas it goes through. Theres a video on youtube with a bloke going round the area, its apparently been rated one of the worst estates in the country
